Check out our preview here.
Usutu the bushman gives Hiro the magic stuff to go back in time and he sees Linderman and the Petrellis. Nate is the DA and is preparing to investigate Linderman. Lindy warns Arthur that Nate can’t do that, else he’ll find out Arthur’s behind everything.
Arthur says he’ll have one more talk with Nate and if that doesn’t work, he’ll kill him. Meredith Gordon and her flamethrower brother Flint run into Company man Thompson. Hey, it’s Eric Friggin’ Roberts! He punks them pretty effectively by himself. Where’s his “one of them” partner? We flash back to one year ago and Sylar’s going to hang himself but Elle stops him. She runs some convincing game on him. Hey, guys, would you kill yourself with Kristen Bell around? I think not. She, of course, is setting Sylar up on The Company’s orders.
HRG talks to Elle and explains how important Sylar is. Thompson begins recruiting Meredith to the company. He asks her why she hates The Company so much and she doesn’t really answer. Arthur does talk to Nate, who has no intention of dropping his investigation on Linderman. After their talk, someone tries to run Nate and his girlfriend off the road. Nate flies out of the car but his girlfriend’s paralyzed in the crash. Angela asks Arthur if he called for the hit, which he denies.

Meredith helps Thompson take down a guy who can turn his fist to metal.Meredith puts the metal guy in his cell and sees they’ve captured her brother. Flint says they’re going to make him an agent. Yeah, right. Elle brings Sylar a pie, and he shares his secret of telekinesis with her. Elle is starting to believe Sylar’s changing. Once HRG realizes Elle’s falling for Sylar, HRG decides Elle should see him Sylar “feed.” HRG says if Elle doesn’t want to follow orders, she can look for another job. Arthur and Linderman plan to attack Nate again and this time Angela hears them. She runs away but Arthur wipes her mind.
Meredith breaks Flint out, but Thompson catches up to them. She blows up a train but gets caught anyway. She explains that she hates The Company because they killed her little girl. Thompson is shocked they told Meredith her daughter Claire was dead, so shocked he actually lets her go. It turns out the fire she started is the one Claire charges into with her powers during Season One. Linderman allows Angela to know the truth about her hubby. She poisons him, and the Haitian is on hand so Arthur can’t use his powers to do anything about it.
Angela’s arranging her cover story when Nate shows up. They take Arthur to the hospital and tell the family he’s dead. He’s whisked away to the secret lab we’ve seen him in this season. The doctor tells him the paralysis will be permanent. He communicates with doc telepathically, setting up the fake death.
At Arthur’s “funeral,” Angela tells her sons not to idolize their father, who was flawed in ways they will never know. Hiro wakes up from his vision and realizes he must warn Angela Petrelli. But it’s too late, as they hear Usutu’s scream and find his severed head. Arthur tells Hiro “I hear you’ve been dreaming about me” and proceeds taking Hiro’s powers.

This episode was crap just a recap of stuff we know already. No new incite of the things coming up and why were the two different companies formed. I blame Tim Kring for this.
